LNG prices are above $30/MMBtu as Europe enters winter with its lowest gas storage levels of the 2020s. The outlook highlights tight competition for US cargoes, potentially softer Asian demand due to mild weather and stronger nuclear availability, and uncertainty from El Niño and Strait of Hormuz risks.
Tight European inventories and competition for LNG cargoes can sustain upward pressure on natural gas prices and increase energy costs. A recovery in Middle Eastern supply or milder demand could ease that pressure.
After 155 past bullish macro events, Natural Gas moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -4.0% to +7.1%), and +2.0% over 20.
